Brown has not played a moment for Philly this season, and while that has been attributed to a injured hamstring reality is he likely wouldn’t have played healthy or not. Morris has come off the bench in Sixers this season averaging 6.9 points a game.

The Sixers are eating a little money here to clear the roster spot as Brown was due just shy of $3 million fully guaranteed (the second year of a two-year deal), Morris has a $200,000 guarantee on his deal, according to Mark Deek’s Sham Sports.

Brown has two skills on the basketball court — he is a solid on-on-one post defender against more traditional big men, and he’s a pretty good rebounder. That’s it. His help defense can best be described as clueless and on offense he has terrible hands and is not a good finisher at the rim. And one of those skills — post defense — is needed less and less in the league.

It’s unfortunate he was the mistake No. 1 pick of Michael Jordan because that gave Brown a kind of fame and pressure he didn’t really warrant.

If only they had the rule in place that you had to be one year removed from HS, he might have been selected in an NBA draft at a more reasonable spot as well as developed/matured a bit before becoming a millionaire upon HS graduation.

I don’t respect him as a player, but the fact that he lasted that long and was brought on back by Doug Collins and Michael Jordan on their teams after the Washington disaster shows that he’s not the biggest bust ever.
